Stephen Whiteside from TheUpTrend.com provides a calm start to the trading week, noting a quiet Monday with stock index futures and commodities slightly higher. He reviews gold’s recent movement, which hit a new high followed by a bearish reversal, and highlights that the broader market remains in a consolidation phase. The Vanguard Total Market ETF continues to trade sideways, suggesting investors are waiting for a breakout above last week’s high or below last week’s low to signal the next major move.
Despite mild pre-market strength, both short- and long-term indicators remain bearish until the VIX closes below key thresholds. Whiteside also reviews cryptocurrency markets, noting Bitcoin’s recent lows and outlining sell signal levels for various crypto-related stocks such as Bitfarms, Coinbase, and Galaxy Digital. He concludes by reminding viewers to watch for potential signals later in the day and encourages them to like, comment, and subscribe for ongoing stock market timing insights.
